Huntsburg Campus Fundraises for Geauga Hunger Task Force, Providing Over 1,000 Meals
Students and staff exceed fundraising goal to fight food insecurity in Geauga County through a creative November challenge.
A Creative Fundraising Challenge
The fundraiser was part of a month-long campaign to raise awareness about hunger in the community. Some staff members added a fun twist by pledging not to shave during November and agreeing to a playful challenge. They agreed to subjecting themselves to a pie in the face if they lost a point contest. Points were earned through pennies and bills, while nickels, dimes, and quarters subtracted points—making the competition lively and engaging!
Impact Beyond the Classroom
“While a contest may name a winner, the real victory is found in supporting the dignity and well-being of those who will receive meals,” said Diana Le Sieur, Interim Head of School and Admissions Director.
Every dollar raised provides two meals to the more than 10,000 people in Geauga County who face food insecurity.
Last week, students and staff proudly handed a check for $608 to Sue Juhasz, Director of the Geauga Hunger Task Force. “This far exceeded our $300 goal,” said the Huntsburg team. “We are thrilled to make a difference and grateful to everyone who contributed.”
